I am trying to configure Vyatta to act as a wifi to ethernet bridge. I am currently doing this with my windows desktop but want to move it to a dedicated Vyatta box. I have a typical linksys wireless router that operates as my access point. The wireless card in the Vyatta box works just fine and is able to connect when it is configured as a normal wireless client. When I create the bridge between eth0 and wlan0, clients on the lan "behind" Vyatta still can't connect. If I restart Vyatta in this state, it will also not get an IP address from the wireless network any longer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is my config:
vyatta@Vinz-Clortho:~$ show configuration

bridge br0 {

No Go. Turns out this is not yet possible. From the vyatta forums:
